Private Islands of Wonder Remote Island & Wildlife Boat Adventure
Description
This four-hour private boat trip is a great fit for guests seeking a calm, flexible day on the water without rush or crowds. Unlike standard tours, this experience offers exclusive access to Sitka Sound at your own pace and reaches places rarely accessible by other means.
You'll leave from downtown Sitka on a comfortable, heated boat reserved for your group. There's no set route for the day. We watch the weather, tides, and wildlife activity, then adjust. That could mean watching a humpback whale feed, drifting past sea otters in kelp, or checking rocky shores for sea lions, bald eagles, and seabirds. There's always room for questions or quiet time, as you prefer.
Midway through, we stop at a remote island and go ashore. The beach is quiet and uncrowded, allowing you to explore at your own pace. Some guests walk along driftwood, others peer into tide pools, or just sit and enjoy the stillness. Snacks and warm drinks are provided, with no pressure to keep moving.
On the return, we take a different path through Sitka Sound. This often brings new views and final wildlife sightings as the day winds down. By the time you return to the harbor, the trip feels less like a scheduled outing and more like a genuine day on the water with a local.
